>> supervisor farrell: that's fine. mr.fortune is up here first. >> peter fortune, president of san francisco beautiful, but unfortunately i'm not here in that capacity because as hard as we try to learn about all the issues that might affect the neighborhoods we didn't have notice of this and i think that process was backed up by the people who have testified so far. we didn't get notice and there must be a reason for that and it seems like it's the best kept secret although there was some attempt at outreach. supervisor farrell, will you send an e-mail around to your constituents and tell them there's going to be a hearing or you will sit down and tuck to all of your constituents about this so we can have a full and fair hearing and people can voice their concerns and support. postpone this hearing. i challenge you to do that. i get all your e-mails. i haven't heard squat about this restaurant. i don't know why. i don't know why you haven't said look, there's going to be a hearing, there's going to be a restaurant, everyb

mr. farrell, i think we elected you as our representative. don't know if you're representing the restaurant industry or what but you need to do a better job in our neighborhood. i'm fourth generation san franciscan also. thank you. >> supervisor farrell: thank you very much. next speaker please. >> good morning. my name is allen kaplan. i do have a vested interest in the marina. i've lived there since 1984 diagonally across the street from the degaussing station and the marina green. i'm here for several reasons. one is, as supervisor ferrell knows, i'm a vocal communicator whenever there is noise and am very sensitive to protecting the neighborhood and the quiet that we have. i do think -- i was thrilled when i heard that something was actually going to be done with the degaussing station which i've run around for 25 years and watched -- it's been renovated three or four times and there was something going to happen and nothing happen and it's kind of an eyesore. i'm here basically to support the mcnifns. i've known the family since 1988 whe

mr. seat 4. so we do have two more seats. supervisor farrell? >> given that i wasn't here last week i would defer to my colleagues. i was impressed by those who came out and spoke today and thank you. and mr. mauroff, i'm glad to see has been mentioned, but i am happy to defer to my colleagues for seat 2, i think mr. rita evans would be great for the bart riders' interest, especially someone riding [pwa-rlt/] everyday to the east bay and i think you would be very well-suited to that see the. which only leaves one remaining see the, seat 1. >> again, i think any of these individuals would do a great job for see seat 1 and it's hard to choose, but i will say nicole agbayani for see the 1. >> we have a motion for nicole agbayani, the manager at the excelsior action group. so we have nominations for each of the six seats and it's great to see such an interesting around the balboa station to make sure that we're dedicating the interest and attention that is needed. so i just wanted to again repeat the motion that we have before us. we have nicole agba

mr. chairman. i along with supervisors farrell, and carmen chiu to hiement this for muni to maintain its vehicles and invest in the system. muni service has been deteriorating and it has to stop and it needs to stop now. muni is part of the life blood of san francisco. it carries approximately 600,000 people every day. for many people, particularly low income people, working class, people and seniors, muni is often the only way to get around. given critical importance of muni to the day-to-day life the voters in '99 voted to make sure sheun's top priority is to provide safe and convenient transit service to all neighborhoods. this isn't priority two or three. it's the top priority for the system. i'm sorry to say that muni has not been fulfilling that voter mandate and we as a city -- this is not about point fingers at muni vehicles and often have no backup vehicles when they break down. when broken down we've been slow to fix them, fix them inadequately and sometimes don't bother to fix them at all and they sit for years and years, unused. we've significantly reduced our rehabilitation of vehicles,

. >> supervisor farrell: thank you, his mr. chairman.ant to thank everyone who came out today, as i think one of the first things you learn as a district supervisor is how passionate everyone is about our parks and about park usage, and particularly when it comes to putting a private concession into a park i findd>( qç there e people -- it's like ships passing in the night, people think it's the best thing in the world, people who think it's the worst thing in the world. we went through this in dolores park where we put the la casino food truck and there was a lot of controversy. we found that truck is incredibly popular. and the reason is that even if you may have food establishments on the perimeter of the park or a very different experience particularly for people with children than having food available in the park. and so i do think that this strikes a good balance. it takes an already-existing building. it's not like this is some new thing that's being built block views. and i think it is -- i think it will be a good use. and so i

. >> supervisor farrell: what i was going to suggest was today put mr.?ñ?ñ really appreciate yor testimony, and everyone else's as well, and hold off on the other twoujñ?ñ? seats so we cane them a chance at least one more? time for the folks to show up. i think'sñ?ñ? mr. burn eft,d5ñ?ñ ms. tramil, a lawyer, would make fine additions but i would like to give the people opportunity to show up. so i was going to propose that -- and i'm still going to do so, unless you would want to the next time, that's fine with me as well. but i agree, especially given the testimony of the commissioners, i think having some of these people come forth and be able to talk would be something we'd want to do. >> chair kim: and i do want to thank all the2ñ?ñ? mtious, particularly the commission who came out to speak on behalf ofh? the appointees today. it was helpful. i had wanted to hear from these individuals:#iç after having rd their application. we will do a reach out again and appreciate your assistance in reaching out?1ñ?ñ? to dr. matto. i would feel if we can continue

about, about jazz, in it, billy farrell, who is one of a very large number of characters, is a jazz pianist and before he begins playing a black leprechaun appears to him, mr. mcginniss so you can assume it's the ghost of mr. mcginniss. as margaret said, in 1949 we came to the south bronx, which was an irish neighborhood, mostly. i was sort of a spaced-out kid, destined obviously to be a poet. i was this big at 13 and i was a good rollerskater and the kids were amazed and they befriended me. after a while, they recognized that i had some sort of athletic ability and because i was so spaced out, they mistook it for great courage and if they pushed me, i pushed them back. it was just like a game. so they took to me and asked me to join the shamrocks. i even changed my name from ed vega to ed mcveigh. and this is how they passed me off because most of the teams they played were other irish kids. this was a regular football team so, consequently, they listed me as eddie mcveigh. it was great fun and my friends were jimmy flynn, paddy o'connor. my siblings married the shenny's and i almost married a catherine finerin but it didn't work out. i have a nephew, sea
